Masonna - "The Passion Of Rubbers" 2xCassette 1995
"Maso Yamazaki is a Japanese noise musician. He started Masonna in 1987, creating the name by combining the words Maso (Masochist) and Onna (Woman). It is also a pun on Madonna's name. Sometimes it is rendered as an acronym spelling 'Mademoiselle Anne Sanglante Ou Notre Nymphomanie Auréolé', or 'Mystic Another Selection Of Nurses Naked Anthology'. Maso became interested in noise when he heard sounds of destruction on television as a child, but his first exposure to noise as a genre was Hanatarash's debut LP, and 'LSD' by Tokyo's 'Nord' (mistaking it for the Japanese punk band L.S.D.). Two more years would pass before he started to produce and develop his own unique style. He is infamous for wild live performances which usually consist of damaging his equipment, jumping around madly, and sometimes getting injured. He has given entire concerts which lasted only a few seconds."
Embittered - "And You Ask Why" 1991 Demo (With Hi-Res Scans)
Grindy stench and encrusted core from Airstrip One. Despite sharing vinyl splits with Dystopia and Hiatus, the band seems completely forgotten now (not that they ever had a "diehard reissue" sound).

Eu's Arse - 1982 Demo
I shoulda upped this with the 2004 demo (https://selfishfew.blogspot.com/2017/02/eus-arse-january-2004-demo.html), but.........YEAH!
"Europe's Ass were a hardcore punk band from Udine, Italy. Together with 'Upset Noise' they were among the most important groups of the 'Friuli Venezia Giulia' scene. Formed in 1981, the first 'real' line-up was 'Killy', 'Stinky', 'Stiv' and 'Totis'.
In 1982 they participated in the 'Spring Offensive' festival at the Virus social center in Milan, and very soon after published their debut EP titled 'Does the state need you? Well, fuck it.' This 7" was recorded in the studios of 'No Submission' and supported by the fanzine 'Nuova Fahrenheit'.
In 1983 they self-released a new production, a split EP with 'Impact' titled 'This Is Their Speculation Of Death'. The record spread quickly, even all the way to Maximumrocknroll, where Tim Yohannan described their side as 'breakneck DISCHARGE-like repetitive riffs with unlikely-sounding vocals that suggest a poet gone berserk.'
After a long tour and numerous line-up changes, Eu's Arse finally dissolved in 1985."

Stretchheads - "Five Fingers, Four Thingers, A Thumb, A Facelift, And A New Identity" LP 1988 & Peel Session 1991
"Scotland's Stretchheads were formed in 1987 by Andy Maconald (guitar) and Phil Eaglesham (vocals), with Steven MacDougall and Richie Dempsey joining on bass and drums. The band wore asbestos firewear, gas masks, flashy shirts, and balaclavas on stage, and blossomed after support slots with Happy Mondays, The Wonderstuff and The Shamen. Their debut album 'Five Fingers, Four Thingers, a Thumb, a Facelift, and a New Identity' followed in 1988. Touring Europe with Holland's 'Revenge Of The Carrots' and old colleagues 'Dog Faced Hermans', the group split up in 1992, but not before recording a session for John Peel.""Musically they were influenced by U.S. bands Butthole Surfers and Killdozer, as well as British indie groups such as Big Flame and Bogshed. They have since been compared to the Japanese noise-rock of the Boredoms and Ruins. Phil's vocals have been described as 'inhuman, reminiscent of nothing so much as Sesame Street's Grover with electrodes affixed to his genitals', and their overall sound as 'the weirdest, fastest, and heaviest thing to ever come cartwheeling out of the British Isles'."

Test Dept - Live 4-9-89
"Test Dept is an English industrial music group that was one of the most important and influential of that scene's earliest acts. Particularly notable for their complex and powerful percussion, the band used unconventional instruments such as scrap metal and factory machinery for '...sophisticated sound-collages and helter-skelter momentum of cyclical rhythms...'"http://www.mediafire.com/file/u8x5r9esfz4dzv3/Test_Dept_89-09-04.zip/file
